Perhaps we will be joined on the field again - I'm afraid, though, my sister and I must kill one of your comrades.[/sblock]---Ajax fetches Daran and Jalaan from the Victors' Hall. The mul clears his throat:"Gladiators, please come to your seats."The two of you are lead to a low observation box, from which you can clearly see the bloody sands of the pit. A few observers shout congratulatory remarks to Daran - "Congratulations on the win! Great job!" "We're rooting for you, Daran Silt-Sea!"[sblock=Daran and Jalaan]Both of you will be able to act in this fight - sort of.Daran will have the ability to make Charisma checks to lead the crowd in cheering for your friends. Jalaan will have the ability to make telepathic Intimidate checks to force the Adepts to grant combat advantage.You won't act within the normal initiative order. Instead, you can each make one check per round, taking effect for the duration of the following round.[/sblock]---Ja'Cart and Muzdum are brought to Ajax's wooden weapons chest, where they arm up, don their armor, and are marched out into the field of battle. Piotr and Nikolieva stand directly in front of you.Piotr bows slightly, while his sister, Nikolieva, stands a few paces back. You can easily identify the worry in their faces."I'm sorry, warriors, but I must wish you misfortune in this battle, for the sake of my sister's life and my own. May our battle be an honorable an quick one."You notice that rows of spikes have been affixed to the walls of the arena, and the pyramid structure has been removed.Piotr and Nikolieva take their places across the pit.---The thri-kreen announcer stands slightly above the crowd, just out of arm's reach for Daran and Jalaan."The battle to first death shall commence! Who will be the one who falls tonight? Will it be Ja'Cart, the whirling sand-devil? Will it be Muzdum, the mighty dwarf? Could it be Piotr or Nikolieva, the sibling psions? We shall find out! The battle ends only when one of the four is dead! BEGIN!"As soon as the announcer finishes his cry, Nikolieva draws a bone short sword and drops into a defensive posture, moving ahead slightly.Piotr draws his sword and moves in front of his sister, throwing a barrage of psychic energy at Ja'Cart. Two prongs of energy fork in Ja'Cart's mind, causing him a moment of pain and pinning him in place![sblock=Actions this turn]Nikolieva moves to H12, then readies an action.Piotr moves to G11.Piotr uses Psychic Volley against Ja'Cart - Hit - 10 damage.Ja'Cart is 'immobilized' (save ends).[/sblock][sblock=Initiative Order]NikolievaPiotrJa'CartMuzdum[/sblock][sblock=Battle Info]Piotr AC 17 Fort 14 Reflex 16 Will 15Nikolieva AC 16 Fort 14 Reflex 15 Will 16Piotr HP: 37Nikolieva HP: 45Ja'Cart HP: 24/34 Condition: Immobilized (save ends)Muzdum HP:43/43[/sblock][sblock=Hazard Info]If you would push someone into the spikes (the red line), then the target rolls a saving throw.
